hi and very nice motor me dear

remind me not to meet you at the lights.

thanks guys

it is quick! currently getting the core plugs change as they were leaking water, so should have it back tonight, had new discs and pads on fronts, so looking forward to a good drive

it has brilliant top end speed, but low end power needs to be increased i feel!!!!

whats top then mate, on a track of course!

not done a run yet on my private airfield  

when i do ill find out, but im sure it will go past 120

yep it should do mate if not a bit more, judging by the specs i reckon 130, depending on your gearbox and final drive...

cool

got my car back, all fixed, brake pedal is still very low so not sure with that, but getting it tuned up next week + mk2 throttle body

or audi 100.....

is that better than a mk2 16v one?

not sure but its defo bigger as the audi100 runs 5 cylinders

ive got a mate with a 2l bottom end, flowed polished head and 300degree schrick cam with a audi100 tb fitted, thats one scary quick car

cool ill look into it thanks mate
